Thank you for the ginger enzyme tutorial, I use that stuff often but had no idea that it can affect other ingredients to such a degree. You are the un-shot deputy of knowing what quantity makes an enemy.
Bloody hell that's and amazing line 😍
Yup.
It was like John channeled a Julia Childs goof recovery
He's right and wrong. Time is the key. How much time you give the enzyme to do its business. I use tons of ginger and never had a problem with any of my dishes.
@@cynot71 he’s not wrong, he mentioned that by leaving the mixture for a longer time, that’s when the enzyme would begin breaking down the meat. He said he lucked out because he didn’t leave the meat to marinate for longer than 15 minutes which saved his batch texture from spoiling.
Outstanding
Not a korean native here, but I cooked a lot of korean recipes in the last 5 years. If you add freshly minced garlic, ginger, salt, fresh black pepper, sesame oil, finely cut spring onion, red pepper flakes and soy sauce as a marinade almost everything tastes korean :D
Minus soy sauce, it tastes Indian too.
Crazy that ingredients used by a ethnic region makes things taste like it's from that region.
Jokes aside, you right and it's delicious.
Haha can't argue with that! 🤣
Add diced asian pear and thats basically it, yeah.
@@salt-emoji exactly this 😂 😂
Only chef I have seen who will tell you what not to do after he's done it. True teacher, always makes you feel you can do it.
Agree with you, Chef John always points out mistakes and gives options for seasonings. Love this guy!
Agree. One of the many things I love about him!
Also works as a great excuse not to do a reshoot lol
Chef John is the Tim Allen of your culinary challenge.
Go Chef John!
My favorite ingredient.
I agree. I was rofl.
The tiny wooden mixing spoon made my heart happy!
I made this dish last night for my wife. I’ve made many different dishes from CZcams a lot of which were amazing and she said this was top 10 for sure. So fellas if you got a lady you’re trying to impress, this is the way.
I have made a ton of stuff from Food Wishes, so I knew that these wouldn't be terrible. And I had a couple pounds of burger hanging around so I mad a double batch. These were so good that I pretty much ate all of the leftovers and didn't even feel guilty. These truly are the meatballs that you are missing in your life!
Wonder if they’ll freeze well?
Did you follow this exact recipe?
His recipes always end up being my favorite!
I got tired of making the same ol thing every week for dinners and was nervous my family wouldn’t like this dish. My husband and 2 sons loved it! This recipe was so delicious, I made a double batch but didn’t double the hot sauces just in case but left sriracha on the table if anyone needed more heat. Will be rotating this meal for my dinners now 😊
As a Korean, I always love seeing Korean spices and flavors incorporated into Western dishes. These fusion dishes always bring about an interesting experience to the old flavors that l am so familiar with.
Meatballs/Köfte is not Western food. Originally it's from Central Asia. The oldest meatball-recipe is written as Dhengis Khan favorite dish.
My co-worker used to bring a Korean spicy pickle relish to work it was so good especially on hamburgers
A Carls Jr Double Beast Buger with bacon and some of that relish 🌶 was bomb and could of actually been on Carls official menu it was that good .
That whole ginger vs meat explanation... I love science!
As a Korean I approve this food based on how much garlic he used lol
Use the right amount not thr white amount
I disapprove of this recipe based on how much sugar it uses. Diabetes in making
@@dvdgalutube look how much sugar ppl use to bake. It will shock youuu
@@dvdgalutube Are you drinking the sauce? It was half a cup or so for 4+ servings...don't be ridiculous.
@@dvdgalutubeSwap for a sugar substitute and maybe replace the crackers with a whole grain and you'd be fine. The protein is going to slow that sugar down anyhow, nobody's getting diabetes from this 😑
Chef John I'd like to say thank you. I'm 26 and I've loved cooking since I was 4 and would cook breakfast with my gramma when I would spend the night. I'd always read through cook books and watch food network shows and such. Years ago my dad discovered you and he fell in love. He loved the oooooold tappa tappa and the old shake-a shake-a. Once you said "Ask yourself... would Chef John tap that?" and we'd laugh and joke about it all the time. I tragically lost my dad in Oct 2020 to cancer at only 52 and life hasn't been the same since. I've learned so much in my culinary journey from you and I still love and find your videos informational and amusing and sometimes downright hilarious. So thank you, a very pleasant memory of my dad lives on through you and funny enough you guys even resembled one another. Thank you Chef John, my dear friend who I've never met. I love you and I'll continue to support you
Thats both touching & awesome Woogie! Keep on keepin on!
Not only are ur recipes consistently doable and good, ur sense of humor makes me giggle. I’m usually the last person who would join a subscription service, but I think ur worth it! Looking forward to seeing content on ur “kismet” venture, sounds wonderful!
I made these today and they’re fabulous! I did omit the sriracha b/c there was plenty of gochu in both the meatballs and in the sauce. I also added about 3 T. water to my meat mixture to make softer meatballs. And only 1 tsp. fresh ginger. Served it over ruffled wheat noodles. Superb!
Instead of brown sugar you can use corn syrup so that the sauce thickens naturally and sticks to the meat better. Corn syrup is what my mom uses for her Korean fried chicken
How much corn syrup?
@@arctic5177 a good swap is 1:1.5 sugar for syrup, but if you swap a quarter of the syrup with molases, you get the same glazy effect withouth loosing any of the flavor of the brown sugar. But the ration drops back to a very easy 1:1
Chef John,
I’ve been a subscriber for several years. My wife loves the signature sound and tempo of your voice in these vids. When she hears you, she knows she’s getting something good!
I have a “Food Wish” that has nothing to do with this recipe, but I don’t know how else to submit it. So, here you go!
“I wish” there were an all encompassing CZcams video on how to make a good roux. Roux is the backbone for sauces, gravies, and a good gumbo. The longer it is cooked, it can change in color, flavor, and texture. A pre-cooked roux can be used in many recipes as a thickening agent (I measure 2 TBSP into parchment cupcake molds then put it in my freezer for future use). A blonde roux will thicken more than a dark brown roux. Okay, it’s just flour and oil, but I’m sure there’s so much more I don’t know about roux.
So, there you have my food wish! Enlighten us on how to make a good roux!
“And May the odds be ever in your favor”.
There is nothing special to roux. It's just balancing the butter & flour amounts. You stir, stir & stir until you get the tone that you want for the dish that you're making. Some dishes like it blond, others darker & more pronounced flavors, like the étouffée. But do not cofuse gumbo which is soupier with the thicker étouffée smothered sauce.
Gumbo is soupier and richer than etoufee because the roux is taken to the brink of burning, without burning it - this is the most difficult aspect of the gumbo roux. Pull too soon and the roux is too thick and lacking depth… too late and it tastes like burnt coffee. The more you cook a roux, the more it loses its thickening powers. The etoufee roux is lighter because you want that thickening power of a blond roux but some depth of flavor. Some creole and Cajun chefs will stagger their flour additions to the butter as it darkens to blend thickening properties with flavor.
scientists do know why cocktail meatballs taste better: they're smaller, so the surface area/volume ratio is larger, which means much more browning/Maillard reaction flavor per bite
Excellent answer.
Makes sense.
This implies the ideal shape for most flavor is waffle shaped
science makes me very hungry
But,...the ratio between surface area and volume is the same for large and small spheres. The volume may change, but the surface area will change relatively. The surface area may change, changing the volume. But the ratio between the two is constant - (S/V = 3/R).
And I suspect the larger meatballs would deliver more Maillard just by virtue of being larger in surface area undergoing the reaction, and cooking longer.
Chef john is best chef I’ve come across on CZcams. I always get motivated to make his recipes and they are always the best.👍🏽👍🏽
I just made these for my family and they were absolutely amazing! They were simple and quick to make and we're perfect for the weather right now. Thanks chef John for this delicious recipe!
We made this tonight for dinner, SO good! We are making it again soon! Thanks chef John!!
Chef John makes me smile throughout all his videos :) learned a lot too
we still have cocktail meatballs the night before Christmas every year.
I tested this recipe, amazing taste with the GoChefJohn (Gochujang) and garlic, sweet and spicy. I used ginger in the sauce rather than the meatball mixture and it turned out great.
Go Chef John 🤣🤣👍👍
I'm making this with the Korean garlic bread. Can't wait!
wow your comment is very very nice.
Simply put the best & most tender meatballs I’ve ever had, followed instructions to the T and they’re a taste explosion. Thank you sir👍
Never knew that about ginger and meat. Thank you Chef John.
This is the best cooking show on CZcams
My goodness! Your oven is immaculate!! These look amazing, too.
0:06 - Damn! Now that there has to be the most delicious looking picture you've featured on your channel, Chef John!
These look really delicious and savory. I can’t wait to make them! Thanks Chef!
YES. Finally excited to make something again. Thanks for the recipe idea Chef John!
Never give up! When life gets hard, I do gardening, when it gets a little better, I cook.
I am making this tomorrow for dinner. Cooking for 10 people. So tripling the recipe and also adding steamed broccoli to the meatballs. ❤

looks delicious!
Made me thing: Would love to see a collaboration been the fabulous Chef John, and the equally fabulous Maangchi
I have sent this to my son who LOVES Korean BBQ everything! 😉🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're amazing chef John. Don't beat yourself up so much about the ginger. Thanks for the great recipe 🎉
I made this last night. Since I'm a pescatarian, i used a Beyond Meat and it was delicious. I did mod your recipe, though i think i over salted it, the dish came out great. I used a blend of light soy sauce & dark soy sauce for the actual sauce & not for the Beyond substitute. I didn't have Ritz, so i used panko. I think the Ritz would have binded the meatballs better, byt nonetheless, that's what i had. So, just to let others know, this can be done vegan. I'll try this again i. The future. With some tweaking, it can be perfect. Thanks Gochujohn!
Thanks for the Beyond meat Idea. I bought some, but don't like them as hamburgers. And they are pretty tough. I wonder if the ginger would help them out. I always have Ritz crackers on hand for topping on white fish. But think I'll try rolled oats, which I usually use for my regular meat balls instead of bread crumbs.
@@gigiwills7851 oats is a great option. I might try that next time.
An easy - and tasty - recipe that won't cost much to make. I'll be making these, for sure.
Hey Chef John!! I’m happy they came out good!! Because man they look so delicious!! Go chef John🤣😂thank you for this video, these are now on my to make list 👏🏽🥰❤️
Chef John. Watching your videos is great for my mind, my mood and my cooking skills. I love everything about what you do, how you do it and say it, it is great teaching and we have a delicious outcome. I love love to binge watch videos if I am feeling sad. Then I get up and cook and feel better. You have taught me tons!!!! Thank you. God bless you and your family!!✨❤️
This is sooooo clever!
Thanks John
oh my GOSH. SO great. All the times were spot on. I use the written recipes not the videos so the only thing I’d say is use an *enameled* cast iron pan because the vinegar will strip your seasoning in a regular one. And pro tip - the fresh stacks of ritz - if you eat one, the rest makes exactly half a cup 🤣. The texture of these is incredible and the sauce is luxurious! I used Christopher ranch ginger not fresh. Not sure what that means for the enzymes but mine held their shape perfectly but were so tender and delicious. Thank you as always!! 💙
Looks fantastic!
I love it when you add a lil science in your videos!
Now im hungry. Looks verry good sir.
this looks so good
Mmmm. That looks so good.
Ha love it! "Go Chef John!"
Just made it. Amazing stuff
OUTSTANDING, CAN'T WAIT TO TRY
AND HOW WAS IT????????????????????
I think I'm going to turn your recipe into Korean Barbecue smash burgers, that sounds delicious. Thank you for the Meat Balls, they gave me the Idea.
I am SOOOooo calling it "Go Chef John" from now on! 🙂
Damp hands and smooth balls, GO CHEF JOHN!
Great Job Chef 😁 You The Best !!!
That looks so good
I was excited to try this recipe both because it's the first I'll use gochujang for and also the first I get to use my pestle and mortar for - the crackers which were reduced to fine crumbs very quickly and will be my go-to for cracker crushing in the future.
All I need in life are: CJ's Filipino BBQ Chicken, St. Patty Melt & THIS. Oh, and his "State Fair" Lemonade.
Looks delicious!
Looks absolutely Delicious 😋 thank you for sharing 😊 ❤️👍
Go Chef John!!
I love this guy. Sharing mistakes is the sign of a good teacher. And for him to figure out what went wrong might be a plus for us. Could you use fresh ginger to tenderize a tough cut of meat in a marinade, instead of baking soda(yuk)?
A tip for perfectly portioned and consistently sizes meatballs is using an ice cream scoop. The kind with the trigger to scoop out the ice cream. I have one larger size one for entree sized meatballs and one smaller scoop for cocktail size meatballs. This works great because they always come out the same size amd shape, plus I don't have to scrub raw meat out from under my fingernails.
Marvelous, divine, I buy them ready made though.
I’m drooling 🤤
Go Chef John!
Oh boy, I started making this and then I noticed my Gochujang was dried out. I substituted it with a mix of tomato paste, Gochugaru, and Doubanjiang, which was different, but not bad. It still came out pretty delicious.
I couldn't find any Gochefjon but used some Sweet Baby Ray bbq sauce and Korean hot sauce 3 to 1 ratio and it was great.
I made these last night for the first time and they were AMAZING! Keeper... :)
